Hello,
I'm seeing people have released cooked ROMs based on 1.97.*, but I couldn't find any official 1.97.* ROMs neither on the forum nor on the wiki. Can somebody point me the related post or wiki page please, if there is any?
Thanks.
Go to HTC download
Klick the download link. On the HTC site. And see what the file name is. cOuse it might be posible they did not chenged the download link name.
The only ROM version I was able to download today from htc.com was a 1.93.* WWE, with the serial number of my device. Is there any other method for accessing official ROMs? I mean, without a serial number?
I think what he's trying to say is this,
Look at the download link for the 1.93 rom and just change the url, you might get luck. so change (for example) http://htc.com/193.rom to http://htc.com/1xx.com.
Edit:
Checked to see the download link for ya, the 1.93 link is this:
http://dl.htc.com/downloadfiles/Rom...igned_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
edit it to your likings and hope for the best.

@nilsk123
I understand the method you're offering but I think the way HTC call their ROM update files is making impossible to guess alternative versions. There are too many numbers to play with, just too many possibilities Also, the link created by HTC web site could simply be a symlink or a virtual folder created on the fly according to our serial numbers.
@Weisan
Thanks for the link, appreciated. This ROM looks like created for Vodafone, are there any unbranded 1.97.* updates present in the forum?
I would be interested also, to see if HTC have improved much since the 1.93 ROMS...
Sorry to bother you, I'm sure this info is somewhere (or if I understood it a bit better), but if someone could clear a few things up:
1) Have downloaded Hard-SPL 1.23, 1.34 and the latest version - is the newer better/more stable? Or I do have to use the one that matches the ROM I am flashing to?
2) If I want to do a cooked a ROM, will any of the versions of Hard-SPL listed above work for that too?
3) Is there an easy way to back up operator settings (internet, voice mail number etc?) Just got it so there's nothing else on it that needs backing up.
4) Offical ROMs are in .exe format, can I just install them on to my XDA?
Edit: Found the official ROMs, just required looking through several pages (sorry). Can anyone answer the other questions, especially how to back-up network settings.
For the mo I just want to get rid of the O2 branding.
Thanks for your time - have been a mod on several forums and I know you end up having to answer questions 20 times over.
Cheers,
Joe
Regarding Hard SPL, read here fully and carefully. It will tell you all you need to know.
With regards to ROMs, you could use the official ones but you will find AZTOR ROMs far superior. (AZTOR = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official ROM) or alternatively Shaks.P ROM in my signature which is set up for the UK. Both will automatically detect your network and use the correct settings and both are as stable as the original ROMs but with improved performance
I have a UK o2 xda ignito, and the only hard spl I have used is 1.93 from this thread.

Most of the modded roms can be flashed with the included utilities. But most of the official 2.03 roms can only be flashed from internal storage.
Any info you need can be found with the search function, with a little time.
All the best.

Responding To Questions:
1) It doesn't have to match your original SPL...if the one you have downloaded works then use it. Very few chefs recommend a specific Hard SPL with there ROM. But this is so rare.
2) if you want to flash a unsigned ROM then you need a developers edition Hards SPL.....or jocky's works as well....I personally use 1.93 so I recommend that one.
3) don't worry about backing up operators settings.....most of these roms come with a "Connection Setup" which allows you to select from a list of operators and it does everything for you. I also have a little app for this if your rom doesn't have this.
@Everyone: thanks for your help.
Will install the 1.93 Developers HSPL and see how that goes.
Can anyone recommend a ROM (don't want any visual tweaks)?
Thanks again
Asking such a question can close this thread .........
This is out of the respect of the chefs who work hard. Please refrain from this topic regarding best roms, etc.
Just try them out and read the threads.

I understand people have put a lot of hard work in and have taken a look at a few cooked ROMs, and fully intend to start cooking my own when (if) I have learned the skills.
However just got it and it has O2 branding, so i'd like to play with the original interface for a day or two before I start seeing what can really be done with the interface
Yeah, good idea, this will allow you to compare the true difference between a original and a cooked Rom. That is where one can begin to truly see how much better a cooked Rom is.
AZTOR version for UK?
Gonna try the AZTOR, looks like its got some solid improvements without affecting the UI, which version (WWE/GER) are using for the UK Mike?
Thanks again everyone, you've been a great help.

Hello everybody ! I'm using HCT HD and Original ROM.Can I install new version of TouchFlO 3D?If can could you provide me a cab file for me?I try to download it for my phone but I when I install it it show nothing.
Thanks advance
you will have to flash a custom ROM, you can't just install a new version
you can read all about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
its not something to do lightly, but take your time, and learn what to do, and you should be ok
Flashing is easy take out sim and ur memory card put the flash file u want onto an 2Gb memory card name it BLACIMG.nbh, turn fone off reboot into bootloader, hold volume down and press power button and will ask u to press power button to flash ur fone. DONE!! EASY!!!
MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU DO THIS DO HSPL UR FONE WITH OLINX 1.56.
you cannot simply install touch flow 3d becuase a lot of the files used by it are in the ROM. this means that you cannot overwrite them without flashing a whole new ROM image, hence why you need to flash a new ROM to get an updated version of touch flow. Youll notice how it is often referred to as "manilla". this is simply its codename - they mean the same thing. Good luck

Everyone will have different opinions on this one. There are many good chefs here and on other sites. My suggestion as always is to read up about the different roms. Read the threads which will give you a sense of whether there are any significant issues with the rom which will be a problem for you. Once you have decided which rom you want to try, follow the step by step guide (link in my signature) and flash. You can then try a few different ones yourself and decide which one best suits your need. People are going to give you their opinions which may or may not be what you are looking for.
This thread will now most likely be closed down as it calls for an opinion and could lead to huge debates about the relative merits of each rom. Only you can decide what suits your needs.
Yes thanks for your ur seggestions.

Just do what i did and flash all of the popular ROMs and then choose which one you liked best. Alternatively, on the ROM developement forum, theres a benchmark thread (its a sticky, so itll be near the top). There you can see the best performing ROMs and may want to choose one of the best, if speed is a priority.
All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc

Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

Is there a cab or anything that'll give me the Sense 2.5 email tab for my Sense 2.1 TP2. I only found one cab (kimi_sae_ireba) but it didnt work correctly. There's a lot of white and out graphics issues. I saw something in that post about editing the 220edf70_manila file for a WVGA device, but I wouldn't know how to do all that. Id love to have it tho, so any help would be appreciated.
Assuming you're still on a stock ROM as most people who use TF3D are, why not move up to a 2.5 ROM that has it? Development on 2.1 is all but ceased. There are very few chefs who still cook it in to their ROMs.
If you are stuck on having 2.1 over 2.5, try out Jackos Sense 2.1 ROM. It's very popular and stable.
Outside of these suggestions, maybe you could per$uade a chef or someone to mod the mode9 file you need to make it work. I wouldn't expect much, though.
My SmartMOVE ROM (Sense 2.1 + WM6.5) does have included the e-mail tab from Sense 2.5 mod by kimi_sae_ireba and it does work fine
Do you know anything that could help me with that? I have the cab and everything. It just says I need to edit some files. Do you think you could extract any files from your rom to see if itd work for me? Thanks.

Why not just flash Jackos' ROM? It manages memory way better than the stock ROM. You'll have more RAM and a more stable experience overall in my opinion.
I did just look at that Rom, and I would kinda like to try it. I only have 2 problems. 1, I have lots of programs. And dont really wanna have to go through that whole process again. And 2, it has (SP1) (SP2) to download after the Rom, and Im not really sure what those are.

What do you mean SP1 and SP2? Have you flashed a ROM before? If not, then you have a bit of reading to do before flashing all willy-nilly. Head over to the flashing for noobies thread to get a bit more info on the topic.
The proper order for flashing new ROMs is to unlock the SPL on the device, perform a task29, flash the stock ROM, task29 again, then flash the custom ROM. The first time is always a little scary.
Ive flashed before. I thought I found a good rom but this one looks like it might be even better. But look at this post I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632617 After the rom download link it has 2 separate "SP" files to download too. But I dont know what those are.
Also it says it has Tom's autoinstall installed in the rom, will that install to the phone or the storage card? I dont want everything installed to the phone.

SP1 explanation
SP2 explanation
As far as Tom's autoinstall, yes it does install to the internal memory. There shouldn't be a need to reinstall everything to the SD. Some of them have settings that install to the internal memory or the registry, but the majority of them that you install to the SD stay there. For more questions about Jackos' ROMs, please ask on that thread. You'll get much better answers there. Jackos supports the ROMs very well. Just make sure you read and search properly before firing away with the questions, just like on any other thread.
